NASB — Hosea 8 — KJV

Israel Reaps the Whirlwind

  1 a[Put] the trumpet° to your Ilips°!
  bLike an eagle° [the enemy comes] cagainst° the house° of the LORD°,
  Because° they have dtransgressed° My covenant°
  And rebelled° against° My elaw°.
  2 aThey cry° out to Me,
  “My God°, bwe of Israel° know° You!”
  3 Israel° has rejected° the good°;
  The enemy° will pursue° him.
  4 aThey have set° up kings°, but not by Me;
  They have appointed° princes°, but I did not know° [it].
  With their bsilver° and gold° they have made° idols° for themselves,
  That Ithey might be cut° off°.
  5 IHe has rejected° your acalf°, O Samaria°, [saying],
  “My anger° burns° against them!”
  How° long° will they be incapable°° of binnocence°?
  6 For from Israel° is even this°!
  A acraftsman° made° it, so it is not God°;
  Surely° the calf° of Samaria° will be broken° to Ipieces°.
  7 For athey sow° the wind°
  And they reap° the bwhirlwind°.
  The standing° grain° has° no° Iheads°;
  It yields° cno° IIgrain°.
  Should° it yield°, strangers° would swallow° it up.

  Like a bvessel° in which no° one° delights°.
  9 For they have gone° up to aAssyria°,
  [Like] ba wild° donkey° all alone°;

  10 Even° though° they hire° [allies] among the nations°,
  Now° I will agather° them up;

  11 ¶ Since° Ephraim° has amultiplied° altars° for sin°,
  They have become° altars° of sinning° for him.
  12 Though aI wrote° for him ten° thousand° [precepts] of My blaw°,
  They are regarded° as a strange° thing°.
  13 As for My asacrificial° gifts°,
  They bsacrifice° the flesh° and eat° [it],
  [But] the LORD° has taken° no° delight° in them.
  Now° He will cremember° their iniquity°,
  And dpunish° [them] for their sins°;
  They will return° to eEgypt°.
  14 For Israel° has aforgotten° his Maker° and bbuilt° palaces°;
  And Judah° has multiplied° fortified° cities°,
  But I will send° a cfire° on its cities° that it may consume° its palatial° dwellings°.

Destruction is threatened for their impiety,

1 ¶ [Set] the trumpetº to² thy mouth.º [He shall come] as an eagleº against² the houseº of the LORD,º because² they have transgressedºª my covenant,º and trespassedºª against² my law.º 2 Israelº shall cryºª unto me, My God,º we knowºª thee. 3 Israelº hath cast offºª [the thing that is] good:º the enemyºª shall pursueºª him. 4 They² have set up kings,ºª but not² by² me: they have made princes,¹ª² and I knewºª [it] not:² of their silverº and their goldº have they madeºª them idols,º that² they may be cut off.ºª

5 ¶ Thy calf,º O Samaria,º hath cast¹ª [thee] off;² mine angerº is kindledºª against them: how long²² [will it be] ereº they attainºª to innocency?º 6 For² from Israelº² [was] it² also: the workmanº madeºª it;² therefore it [is] not² God:º but² the calfº of Samariaº shall be² broken in pieces.º 7 For² they have sownºª the wind,º and they shall reapºª the whirlwind:º it hath no² stalk:º the budº shall yieldºª no² meal:º if¹ so be² it yield,ºª the strangersºª shall swallow it up.ºª 8 Israelº is swallowed up:ºª now² shall they be² among the Gentilesº as a vesselº wherein [is] no² pleasure.º 9 For² they² are gone upºª to Assyria,º a wild assº aloneºª by himself: Ephraimº hath hiredºª lovers.º 10 Yea,² though² they have hiredºª among the nations,º now² will I gatherºª them, and they shall sorrowºª a littleº for the burdenº² of the kingº of princes.º 11 Because² Ephraimº hath made manyºª altarsº to sin,ºª altarsº shall be² unto him to sin.ºª
